U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that Russia had received Fath-360 close-range ballistic missiles from Iran. In response to the transfer, the United States imposed further restrictions on Iran Air and announced sanctions targeting 10 individuals and nine entities, including Russian-flagged vessels allegedly involved in delivering weapons from Iran to Russia. France, Germany, and the United Kingdom also pledged sanctions on Iran Air. Iran denied supplying the missiles to Russia.
